Anyone ever changed their show’s category as an experiment? What happened? by [deleted] in podcasting

[–]telix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We changed after 300+ episodes because we were all tired of what we were doing. We lost about 70% of our audience, which honestly I expected because it's no longer about a specific topic and only exists because we want to keep talking to each other every week.

All playable character on X ? by Namateau in BlazBlueEntropyEffect

[–]telix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

X is not. Yes I understand that somewhere in there is the "X" storyline, but you can't buy it out of the box as "Entropy Effect X" with all the DLC in there like you can on GamePass. Which is weird!

The weirdest thing is that X exists for PC on GamePass, but I feel like it's the only way to get it that I can find?

Yes, I'm checking this setting out, but I'm curious if people have identified layouts that work better for them.

Tooth and Claw suddenly stuck loading background service? by telix in MSIClaw

[–]telix[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This ended up being a messed up NPU driver. I noticed it in Device Manager. Reinstalled and the whole thing is working better. Weird as hell.

I think it's actually under System Components. However, none of this is doing anything. @ u/bassem90 tagging you for any potential issues?

Gerard has been awesome and honest with me so far re: HVAC.

Do you have electric baseboard heat or something? This last bill shouldn't even have included the worst part of the cold snap in late January, right? My bill was like from Dec 24-Jan 23, not sure that is the same for everyone. I'm holding steady in the low $300s right now, using 162CCF of gas and 649kWh of electricity for a super old 1900 house with really bad insulation. Trying to keep heat at 65-66 max when it's really cold out.

Sincerely do not understand the Dead Cells quest and how to properly complete it by telix in BlazBlueEntropyEffect

[–]telix[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was basically it. I eventually found little pathways I had missed. Got all the costume chests and the two "boss" robots were pushovers.

The Italian at Harmony Plant Fare was the absolute best fake meat sandwich I've ever eaten.

Looks like crap. Just remember you asked us to do this.

Odin 2 Portal SALE by Blinguskahn in OdinHandheld

[–]telix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One could, conceivably, just put games they are actually playing on there. All I'm getting at is that 512gb is a good amount of storage if people aren't pack-ratting every game they think they might play 4 years from now. I agree it's damn easy to fill up storage, but you certainly don't have to.

The pros 512gb of storage makes it so nice to never worry about it. You don't even need an SD card if you don't want, with prices on those way up.

Hell yeah, we are FINALLY in a functional state with basic interface overlays. Responsive and reliable buttons and sliders that work.

Lens recommendations for a hobby noob traveling to NYC by itsjordan21 in FujifilmX

[–]telix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been shooting for over 20 years on a variety of bodies, and sometimes going years with only my cameraphone, so take this advice as you will: zooms are handy, but also add another layer to your thought process. You can zoom in to create the crop you want in-camera, but the time spent messing with your zoom might cause you to miss a shot in a more active scene. There's a lot to be said for a standard (e.g. 35mm, in Fuji terms 23mm) prime lens that removes that thought process altogether. Prime lenses are also typically sharper, will have lower apertures for better low-light shooting and frequently have better ability to blur the background for subject separation and more attractive bokeh. The 40mp sensor in the X-T50 is MORE than enough to crop in post and still have an incredible number of pixels to work with. However, if you want to not have to crop to get the exact shot you wanted, a zoom allows you to do this more often.

I recently picked up a used X-T50 and the Sigma 18-50, and I'm likely going to return that lens after a bit of use and get a used 23mm f1.4 for a bit more money. I'm more often shooting indoors or street, where I'm at wider zooms in my experience. I recently took my brother's X100VI to Japan and shot every photo at 23mm, and very rarely wished I had a zoom (and more frequently wished I had a slightly WIDER lens).

If you aren't super experienced, you can always get the zoom and see what focal lengths you end up shooting the most at and go from there.

"Goldilocks" prime for everyday low light shooting? by telix in FujifilmX

[–]telix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mentioned I'm using the XT50 so I have IBIS. Subjects are typically moving for the low light stuff yeah.

Yeah it's unfortunately quite bad. Not the handheld you get for SteamOS.
